I would like to think that the 1700s and 1800s represented a golden age in American religiosity, where our political and cultural leaders were deeply spiritual, yet not biblical literalists. Now, it seems that dialog has broken down and we are in fractious camps. I'm sure I am just romanticizing the period though.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think you were trying to refute the other two points, but I was interested in overt clarity.

Whether or not you've romanticized, "Deist" no longer seems to be a position "mainstream" politicians can admit to.
